I'm not even a movie person and I, too, am so intrigued by Black Swan! I read a mini interview with Natalie Portman about it (who described some of the scenes as truly disturbing), which made me want to see it even more. And that shot of the table--is that really in your house? Beautiful! I can only dream of a space that uncluttered . . .

I have seen the Black Swan and it's a little on the scary side, and if the movie wasn't so beautiful in every other way I might have left since I am usually terrified of anything scary. Natalie Portman is amazing in it and the movie really is a work of art. Hope you enjoy it, and have a lovely weekend! xx

I've been implementing simplicty wherever possible. It seems to calm me down a little when I'm stressed out. The less I have to think about the better! I haven't seen the movie, but as part of my "remain sane" project I'm going to start going to a movie every now then, so it's on my list!

Einstein was a smart one in so many ways. I'm not sure what simplicity in my life would mean right now. I can't wrap my head around anything but the immediate to do's. I'll find some real deep thinking time soon though.

I haven't seen Black Swan, but my friend was telling me about it and I really wanna see it! It seems SUPER interesting!

ANYWAY, I've been meaning to ask you, dear Jude... when you were in Boston, did you ever go to FLOUR BAKERY+CAFE!??!?!? They're known for their amazinggg sticky buns. Bobbly Flay even had a throwdown episode with those sticky buns and LOST! :D It's my favorite place here in Boston!

Aw, thanks for all your sweet comments!@Claire - yes, it's in our new place, as you can see we've a long way to go with decorating!@Nicole - I LOVE flour in Boston! (It was started originally by someone from Hawaii too! :))

I haven't seen black swan. I would love to but it's been sold out each time. Hopefully soon!

I love that quote from Albert Einstein. So true! Moving can be stressful but so exhilarating at the same time especially if it's to a completely new place. All the best. Hope you're able to settle in okay!

Saw the behind the scenes for Black Swan so I'm pretty intrigued. Mila and Natalie are already very slim girls and yet they still had to train hard and lose weight is such commitment to their craft, will go see it!

New begginings are so wonderful! Did you ever see Anne of Green Gables? My favorite quote from it is that "tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it." To that I'd like to add "and just great possibilites" :)

"In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity" is one of my most favorite quotes!!!! :) It's a funny coinsidence, actually, since when I post a new album on facebook I always choose a quote to go with it and when the whole allergy thign happened, friends asked me for some pics... Which I posted and it was exactly teh quote I chose to go with thsi unfortunate album lol

einstein is such a poet, philosopher, genius! plus he has lovely hair. that photographs is so beautiful,enjoy the calm before the unpacking!i haven't seen black swan, but this poster is such brilliant advertising. stunning cast, too! hmmm...but its too cold! i stay in the house like boo radley.
